April Fools already?  Where has the first part of this year gone?

What was the worst thing you did for April Fools?

AMAT...long

[clarkrl2]

While I am not averse to pulling a prank, I rarely do April Fools Day pranks and don't recall any that were particularly spectacular. I have always thought this one was great.

[ModE98]

LIZI (long).    I will probably end up as " April's Fool" on this one.  I own a few on spec.

[kadee79]

QS, short...

One year, in high school, I bought several packs of gum.  I carefully unwrapped each piece, coated one side with liquid soap, let it dry & rewrapped each piece...then handed it out on April 1 at school.  No one wanted any of my gum the rest of the year.    So I not only played a trick, I didn't have to share gum for several months either. LOL!

            Just an added note.

            I've been playing with the stock market since my

            college days. I'm still learning things.

            For instance: I'm still trying to remember the

                difference in spelling between "long & short"

Sorry about the late update. I will likely have some work obligations over the next month or so. Some days the updates may come a little later than normal.

[kadee79]

No problem Clark.

Congrats to Mod, Uncle & Clark.
